Hi Taher,
Yes, yesterday I moderated/accepted, I guess the same message you received, to the private ML. We received it in the private ML because we (PMC
members) have a credential we use to upload Gradle wrappers version on Bintray:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Load+new+gradle+wrapper+version+on+bintray
So it's also a release concern...
I agree we should not procrastinate... Fortunately we have 2 months to decide
and act...
We should try to use MavenCentral as much as possible, but IIRW maybe it will
not be enough.

Hello Everyone,
I received emails and checked resources [1] that seem to confirm JCenter from JFrog is going down and that the last day of operation for the
repository is going to be May 1st 2021.
This is a big deal as many running instances will crash unless updated, so not only do future versions of OFBiz need to adapt, but also existing
installations.
I'm not sure how to best handle this? Especially for production instances out there on older versions of OFBiz. Maybe one solution is to host the
existing libraries in some temporary location or try to migrate them to MavenCentral ... Whatever is the solution I think we should make a fast move.
